Flush - Conspiracies, Threats and Chaos

After releasing their debut album in the midst of the pandemic in 2020, Helsinki, Finland’s Flush was of course unable to perform live, so they headed into a shipping container studio, and over two days self-produced and recorded the EP, Conspiracies, Threats and Chaos.  With a sound that’s largely rooted in hard rock, the four songs they have produced make for a fairly diverse EP.  Kicking things off is “Kings and Queens” which starts with a loose, rattling bassline and crunching guitar before shifting into a solid rocker that balances a melodic side with a raw edginess.  “Weak and Wrong” moves in more of an aggressive and dirty punk direction and at instances is a bit reminiscent of Bad Religion, but with more of a garage rock vibe, while “Cut Me Open” has a more dynamic, laid-back groove and borders on being a bit grungy.  Closing things out is “Entertainment”, a pub rock singalong with a straight-ahead hard rock bite.  This is a very impressive EP that really has me looking forward to hearing what they have up their sleeves next.
